A 30 man squad of crack trained Chinese paramilitary cops will today march through the streets of San Francisco, policing the one and only US stop on the Olympic torch relay, and tackling any American protesters who get in their way.

The news follows revelations that the London and Paris Olympic torch relay stops were policed by an elite "Flame Protection Unit", hand picked from special police units of the People’s Armed Police, China’s internal security force.

The so called "Flame attendants" are usually responsible for fighting unrest and maintaining internal stability in China. Tens of thousands of the "Wujing," as the People’s Armed Police are called in Chinese, recently took part in crackdowns against demonstrators in Tibet and neighboring regions.

The blue-suited goons were seen physically assaulting demonstrators and even Olympic officials and the torch bearers themselves.

Those present at the demonstrations have told reporters that the paramilitaries seemed to believe they have superiority over domestic police forces and were essentially running the show.

The British government has refused to comment on who authorized these hired thugs to have free reign over the streets of London, including Downing Street, despite questions from the opposition party.

These representatives of the Chinese Communist police state are today policing the streets of a portion of a major American city.

The Olympic torch makes its only US appearance today with a ceremonial run through the streets of San Francisco. It will be protected by a squad of Chinese security officers known as "flame attendants." The guards wear bright blue tracksuits. They have succeeded in keeping human rights protesters from grabbing the torch at other appearances.

Despite the fierce backlash in England and Europe to the Chinese squad, and despite Australia announcing a total ban on their presence when the torch reaches Sydney, they walk through downtown San Francisco today as if they own the city.

The torch relay run started at McCovey Cove in San Francisco and will move along a six mile route to Justin Herman Plaza for a concluding ceremony.

Protesters and those sympathizing with the free Tibet movement are reportedly out in force as they were in London and Paris.

This all means that he same jackbooted Chinese SWAT teams we see in training for the Olympics here, are now policing protesters in the streets of America.
